Well-posed Stokes/Brinkman and Stokes/Darcy problems for coupled fluid-porous viscous flows
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a well-posed model for the Stokes/Brinkman problem with a family of jump embedded boundary conditions (J.E.B.C.) on an immersed interface with weak regularity assumptions. It is issued from a general framework recently proposed for fictitious domain problems. Our model is based on algebraic transmission conditions combining the stress and velocity jumps on the interface S separating the fluid and porous domains. These conditions, well chosen to get the coercivity of the operator, are sufficiently general to get the usual immersed boundary conditions on S when fictitious domain methods are concerned: Stefan-like, Robin (Fourier), Neumann or Dirichlet... Moreover, the general framework allows to prove the global solvability of some models with physically relevant stress or velocity jump boundary conditions for the momentum transport at a fluid-porous interface. The Stokes/Brinkman problem with Ochoa-Tapia & Whitaker (1995) interface conditions and the Stokes/Darcy problem with Beavers & Joseph (1967) conditions are both proved to be wellposed by an asymptotic analysis. Up to our knowledge, only the Stokes/Darcy problem with Saffman (1971) approximate interface conditions was known to be well-posed.

متن کاملAnalytical approach to the Darcy-Lapwood-Brinkman equation
Three exact solutions are obtained for flow through porous media, as governed by the Darcy–Lapwood–Brinkman model, for a given vorticity distribution. The resulting flow fields are identified as reversing flows; stagnation point flows; and flows over a porous flat plate with blowing or suction. Dependence of the flow Reynolds number on the permeability of the flow through the porous medium is i...
متن کاملOn Darcy-Brinkman Equation: Viscous Flow Between Two Parallel Plates Packed with Regular Square Arrays of Cylinders
Effects of the bounding solid walls are examined numerically for slow flow over regular, square arrays of circular cylinders between two parallel plates. A local magnitude of the rate of entropy generation is used effectively to determine the flow region affected by the presence of the solid boundary. Computed axial pressure gradients are compared to the corresponding solution based on the Darc...
متن کاملAn Efficient, Energy Stable Scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman System
We present an unconditionally energy stable and uniquely solvable finite difference scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman (CHB) system, which is comprised of a Cahn-Hilliard-type diffusion equation and a generalized Brinkman equation modeling fluid flow. The CHB system is a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard-Stokes model and describes two phase very viscous flows in porous media. The scheme is...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Permeability and Inertial Effect on Fluid Flow through Homogeneous Porous Media
The value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. In low Reynolds number, the classic Darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. In this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. Also, the deviations from the classical Darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the N...
